A review of the serious problem of bacterial resistance and of the concern it arises in many countries and international health organizations is made. The concept and classification are explained and the genetic modalities taking part in their acquisition and transmission are described. The mechanical complexes by which bacteria inactivate the antimicrobial agents are stressed and emphasis is made on the most effective current measures to prevent them.
